Author:

Released to celebrate the seventieth birthday (on July 1st) of Hans Werner Henze, this handsome 14-disc survey brings together the majority of DG’s issues of his music, and it is only on closer inspection that one realizes that the most recent composition included – the magical set of preludes-cum-piano concerto, Tristan – is itself 22 years old. The recordings were made between 1949 (two of the Ballet Variations) and 1975 (Tristan) although the bulk date from the mid-to-late 1960s. Were it not for a few of the politically motivated works that appeared from 1968 on, this set would have been titled more accurately “Henze – the early years”. The lack of any music from the past two decades does make this collection rather less definitive than the title suggests, and one must look to Koch Schwann (The Bassarids, 10/91), EMI (Symphony No. 7, 11/93), Sony Classical (Requiem, 11/94), Berlin Classics (the epic, multi-cultural song-cycle Voices, 12/95) and particularly Wergo (now the ‘house’ label of his publisher, Schott: String Quartets Nos. 1-5, 3/90; The English Cat, 12/92; and much else) to fill the breach. It is extremely good news that DG have at last re-entered the arena with the forthcoming first-ever recording of the sumptuous 1958 ballet Undine; perhaps we can expect Orpheus before not too long.
Yet despite the caveats given above, this is still a representative sample of his oeuvre because it is so varied; there are hardly any two pieces alike here, which is a remarkable feat given that there are 28 of them from a period of only 26 years. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the two discs devoted to Symphonies Nos. 1-6, which collectively progress from neo-Hindemithian abstraction in the First (1947, but seen through the filter of a 1963 rewrite) to the revolutionary philosophy embedded in the Sixth, for two chamber orchestras (1969). Henze’s early symphonies are too diffuse in structure for the title ‘symphony’ to stick: only the Fourth (1955, a true “opera-symphony”, drawn from the Second Act of Konig Hirsch) and Sixth attain a similar cogency of expression that Nos. 7-8 (1984 and 1993) seem to take for granted.
All but one of these recordings have been available before, albeit on LP in this country, though only the double-disc sets of the first six symphonies (12/90) and opera Der Junge Lord (9/94) were on CD prior to this issue. They all bear the imprimatur of the composer, who directs most of them, and several are classics in their own right. The recorded sound overall stands up very well, from the quietest murmur to the huge climaxes in the final – sixth – movement of the Second Piano Concerto (1967). If the best modern issues, for instance EMI’s release of the Seventh Symphony or Sony’s for the Requiem, outclass these reissues sonically, DG’s clarity still matches that for some of Wergo’s. Production values generally are good, if a trifle inconsistently applied: all the discs are available separately (as 11 albums, three of them doubles), but only half of the booklets contain Oliver Knussen’s introductory interview with the composer; different print faces are used in some of the texts for no obvious reason (other than that DG presumably cavilled at having them re-set); only the single discs have transparent inners allowing portraits of the composer to underlie the CDs themselves; and the depth of detail of tracking information listed on the rear covers varies from disc to disc.
There are practically no rival accounts of any of these works on the market, so the set as a whole can be confidently recommended – few of these performances are likely to be surpassed. Fourteen discs may seem a daunting prospect, and with such a large collection some are more compelling than others. My own selection from the set would be: Christoph von Dohnanyi’s magnificent interpretation of the Der Junge Lord; Sacher’s wonderful disc of the Double Concerto (1966), Sonata (1958) and Fantasia (1966); the three concertos, respectively for violin, cello and double-bass; the double-album which includes the Second Piano Concerto and Tristan; the Five Neapolitan Songs (1956) – Fischer-Dieskau’s mono account, made in the same year the songs were written, coming up wonderfully well – coupled with Edda Moser’s radiant performances of Whispers from Heavenly Death (1948, setting Whitman) and Being Beauteous (1963, on texts by Rimbaud) and the extremist rant Essay on Pigs (1969); and, finally, The Raft of the “Medusa” (1968; this recording was made during the rehearsals for the infamous, abandoned premiere), which despite its rawness of texture is a surprisingly lyrical work. By contrast, the hour of extracts from Elegy for Young Lovers frustrates because one longs for what is missing, and the music – but not the performance – of Natascha Ungeheuer is ungeheuer (“frightful”) indeed.'
